Yesterday, we began wiping harddrives off computers, adding partitions and then adding Windows. This all required a number of steps, but did you know just how many pre-installment tasks there are, and what you need to check in order to do this?
1. Requirements:
CPU, RAM, HD, GPU, Display
Before anything: your comp needs to match with the components you’re adding on.
You might need to install more storage.
Put hard drives into USB.
2. Setup wizard checks out the system
Used to check conditions. Microsoft compatibility center checks out hardware
devices
Vista added an online windows logo product list
3. Multiboot has more than one OS
4. Determine how to back up existing data
Migrating versions using files and transfers wizard using XP
5. Determine installation method
An image deployment, as long as you have an identical machine, it’ll work. It’s
called imagine ghosting
6. Multiboot might require a different partition
7. PC doesn’t participate in the network
8. Location affects the currency formats and math separated display

APU
Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) is a processing system that includes additional processing capability designed to accelerate one or more types of computations outside of a CPU. This includes GPU used for general-purpose computing (GPGPU), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or similar specialized processing system.
There are variations for this term including one of which APU described as a "processing device" which integrates CU and an OpenCL compatible GPU, which improves the data transfer rates between the components, all while reducing power consumption. APUs include video processing and other accelerators.

CPU Mountings
Computer Processing Units generally have two types of of mountings that are used to attach processors to the motherboard and sockets and slots. If you are doing an installation, it's important to make sure you remove any label on the CPU socket before doing so. If there is any debris in the holes of the sockets, it may not work properly.
Pin Grid Array (PGA)
PGA is a type of integrated circuit package. The package is square and the pins are arranged in a regular array on the underside. They are often mounted on printed circuit boards using the through hole method or inserted into a socket. These type of mounting allows for more pins per integrated circuit than other packages.
Land Grid Array (LGA)
LGA is a type of surface-mount packaging for integrated circuits that is notable for having the pins on the socket rather than on the integrated circuit. It can electrically be connected to a printed board circuit either by the use of the socket or by adding soldering directly to the board.

Memory Registers
There are two types of Memory Registers. Basically, they both store data, however they each have a different way of storing and utilizing it.
Memory Address Register (MAR)
MAR is a Central Processing Unit (CPU) that either stores the memory address from which the data would be fetched to the CPU or the address to which data will be sent and then stored. It holds the memory location that needs to be accessed. When reading the memory, data addressed by MAR is fed into MDR (Memory Data Register) and then used by CPU.
Memory Buffer Register (MBR)
It is the registry of the computer's processor or CPU that stores the data being transferred to and from immediate access store. It acts as a buffer (holding data in transit) allowing the processor and memory units to act independently without being affected by minor differences in operation. This registry holds the contents of the memory which are to be transferred from memory to the other components and vice versa.
